I just got this…and it’s very hard to find anything wrong lol! I’m simple I setup a patch with and without an amp sim so I can use it direct or with an amp. I only use it as a reverb and delay if I’m using an amp. I get my dirt with a jhs Andy Timmons. This unit is great!!! Worth the money!
Yesss! Glad you liked it! Couple this thing with a good power amp and a cab and you’re set! Very simple fly rig. I have the OG Ampero and it survived tours just fine
The Ampero 2 (stomp and stage) is definitely an improvement in quality of tones over this, but this has got to be the best bang for modeller buck there is. No doubt.
Stage is gonna be the next Hotone product I cover for sure. Just trying to figure out the differences between the Stomp and the Stage. Just form factor/switches?
@@GuitarCinemaOfficial stage has scenes, blutooth, updated user interface, and potentially more DSP power. But the sounds are identical as far as I'm aware.
The cab sims will work fine if you use the HP and LP filters. Don't be afraid to hp as far down as 3-5k but thew IR loader is nice to have too. I still prefer using a real amp but good for headphone rehearsals.
Great 👍🏻 demo of a hotone can't wait to see your review of the stage that will be the one we both may be interested in. Still this niny box is amazing. Be soo easy to pack away and practice in hotel with headphones 🎧 with this unit. Have a blessed day dude 😎👊🏻💯
It does look and sound great for something that looks like it’d be something on the TARDIS, I think it’d kill as a travel rig modeller (I use the MX5 and have no problems with it). Great video as usual!
Thanks for this very informative and pleasent, very nice sounds and clear explanations . The Ampero mini has few Bass amps sims and IR so it can also be a very good bass preamp + tuner. I play guitar in a band and I have the first Ampero, it gives me all I need, Tuner, preamp, effects, IR Loader, XLR DI out, my 3 presets Rythm, Lead, Clean That's it ! Thanks again for the review !
very informative, thanks. I hesitate between Boss GT1 and this one..The boss is not user friendly for editing sounds (screen + tone studio), I prefer this one..I'm using modulation 80% of time, this is a better option I think
I hadn't begun to mess with my Mini (gotten via Ali Express for $170) and then pulled the trigger on the Stage anyway. I got a gear problem😄. Also have the Boss IR-2 which is great no frills base for an ampless rig.
Nice mate! I am looking for a live rig for chug, djent and metalcore stuff and i am looking for headrush core, ampero mini and ampero 2 stage. Wich system works better in your opinion? I play on a tele with fender tex mex single coils
Depends on budget my friend, Ampero MINI is cheapest but very capable. Headrush Core is basically a semi-professional modeller with more advanced signal routing. Amp Cloning etc etc. Any of the 3 would serve you well but my advice is to figure out your priorities and spend accordingly!
I recently bought myself a hotone ampero mini and I seem to be glad about it. but I've encountered a problem that I can't solve yet. Does ampero mini have a reamp function for processing recorded DI audio?
Does anyone know how well the Ampero mini will take other pedals into it without an effects loop? I am looking to add a small multi-effects pedal after my high gain, and boost pedals on my backup pedalboard. I just want to add an eq after my dirt pedals, and create a lead channel with a bit of delay, reverb, and volume boost without having to add 4-5 more pedals to my board. I'm leaning towards the Line 6 HX One cause it has an effects loops, but the screen sucks, LOL, and I really like the touch screen on the Ampero. And the Ampero is almost $100 cheaper. Thanks \m/
The thing with Hotone why I‘m struggling to buy the new Stage2 is because they don‘t seem to really work on updates, they make promises for the Stomp2 for spillover and snapshots but never deliver.
Interesting, definitely seems to be an issue with the more affordable modelling products. Very slow trickle of updates. The Headrush Prime has been out over a year and hasnt had a single new feature added yet...
